About this project

TOOB
plans to manufacture and sell the world’s first affordable dome
displays. TOOB has spent the last 2 years developing its 2nd generation
product TOOB Earth.

WHAT IS TOOB Earth?

TOOB
Earth is a 1.2 Metre (4ft) diameter half dome which when used with a
standard projector** fitted with a standard lens can project an image
onto the inside curved surface giving the viewer the sense of being
fully immersed in the content.Think IMAX/ OMNI MAX but in the home.

One of the key
differentiator's is that the projector and screen are all contained within
the same footprint meaning you no longer need to compromise on space.

TOOB
Earth is the first in a range of dome products planned and will be the
foundation for the world’s first consumer focused Gaming/ Simulation/
Film curved screen company. Its uniquely patented design allows you to
place your dome on any hard surface or on our GRAVITY-E adjustable
stand.

Using
the GRAVITY-E stand adds a further layer of flexibility as it then
allows you to either use TOOBs brand new TSR/ TFX & M-spec
simulation rigs

or use many existing racing or flight rigs which can be
comfortably slide underneath. Or simply use the GRAVITY-E as a furniture
piece in your room for watching stereo 3D movies.

CORPORATE

TOOB is well suited for the corporate environment and this is a great opportunity to get a TOOB and be one of the first to showcase TOOB Dome technology with your business. Our 007 reward shows how you can take a TOOB product and customise it with a unique brand or design. In April 2011 TOOB attended the Gadget Show Live in Birmingham (UK) visted by over 40,000 tech hungry guests. TOOB was so popular it increased footfall on our partners stand by thousands. The increased footfall generated more sales. We gave 1400 demos during the event. That guarenteed 1400 more potential customers + the 1000s of people that stoped to look at our technology.

WHERE ARE YOU NOW?

The
founders have taken the company from concept to a pre-production stage, but need your help to purchase the tooling and raw materials in volume
to enable the first production runs. With tooling in place the company
can then take commercial orders and the momentum you will create will
carry the company into the next phase, which is full scale production.

WHAT DOES ** MEAN?

**Many
projectors are compatible with TOOB however it is recommended that you
contact your manufacturer to ensure it meets the required
specifications. TOOB has a certified product section on the website
showing certified projectors. CERTIFIED PRODUCTS

IMPORTANT - QUESTIONS & ANSWERS

To
show our appreciation for your donations TOOB plans rewards, "thank
you", gifts which reflect the level of donations you give. Below we set
out some important questions and answers to ensure transparency prior to
your donation being made.

What have you produced to date?

- TOOB to date has produced only prototypes of the TOOB Earth product.

Do your prototypes actually work and can I see one?

-
These prototypes are fully operational and are available for
demonstration in San Francisco California or Livingston Scotland. Please
contact us if you would like to visit.

The prototypes don’t look the same as the images seen in the video and on the website?

-
The prototypes whilst closely resemble, do not match exactly the design
of the production models and are intended as proof of concept only.

The pictures in the video and on the website don’t look real?

-
The images shown in the video and on the website are renders of the
production products taken from the actual production design 3D models
and not actual photos.

What if my thank you gift does not resemble the images shown?

-
TOOB reserves the right to alter or change the design of any of our
products at any time prior to supply of any product related thank you
gifts. Any changes if any we may make will be to improve the product and
the experience of our users.

What is the company’s current financial position?

-
TOOB is a start-up company and therefore is not currently in profit,
all of the money raised to date approximately $160,000, has come from its founders and been used for
research & development of the prototype products and to prepare TOOB
for manufacturing.

Does TOOB have manufacturers?

-
Yes, we are working with several very reputable manufacturing companies
that have expertise in their particular fields, these companies are
based in the UK & New Zealand. These relationships are governed by
Non-disclosure agreements and Letters of understanding.

Is my thank you gift guaranteed?

-
Whilst every effort will be made to supply all thank you gifts. We
cannot guarantee the thank you gifts; ultimately you are giving a
donation in expectation of receiving a thank you gift. The thank you
gift is not an enticement to give a donation: it is a "thank you" gift
for your support at this very early stage.

How will I know what’s happening?

-
TOOB will make every effort to update our supporters through our
social networks, our website and at times directly via email to show
you where your funds have been used and have made a difference.

How long do I need to wait before I receive the product gifts?

- Once TOOB receives the donations, it is estimated to be approximately 9 months before the first TOOB Earth units can be produced.

What if it’s not 9 months?

-
As with any new product being produced there are a number of variables
and unknowns, whilst we have given an approximate timescale please note
that the period of time may be shorter than 9 months or longer. We will
keep our donators informed of progress.

Do I get a projector?

- The TOOB earth thank you gift is NOT supplied with a projector unless specified in the reward.

Is delivery included?

- The TOOB earth thank you gift does NOT come with delivery included unless specified in the reward. Delivery will be charged in addition and prior to dispatch of your reward.
